Mastectomy Pillows
Mastectomy pillows are provided for use after surgery. Pillows can be placed between the side and arm to help alleviate pressure created in the surgery area. They are machine washable and can be found at the Pink House or through Breast Health Nurse Navigators.
Wigs & Scarves
Hair loss and chemotherapy sometimes go hand in hand. Carolina Breast Friends provides wigs, free of charge, to breast cancer Survivors who need them. We also have a variety of stylish scarves and other head garments, also free of charge. Just stop by the Pink House to look through our selection and try them on. You are welcome to bring a friend or family meember to assist you in finding just the right thing to meet your need.
We are pleased to be able to supply commercial breast prostheses and mastecormy bras in a variety of sizes, free of charge, to breast cancer Survivors who need them. Just stop by the Pink House to look through our selection. We also often have hand-knitted prostheses called "knitted knockers" that many women find lighter and cooler than the silicone variety.
